An Arab leader once said he would “save the Arabs by expelling and annihilating all Zionists and Jews.” Who was he?

A) The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husayni
B) Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser
C) Original PLO leader Ahmed Shukeiry
D) Saddam Hussein
E) Hamas leader Khaled Meshal

None of the above. It was a "moderate."

From JTA, November 16, 1948:
While negotiations were going on among the Jews, Egyptians and the U.N. in Paris, King Abdullah of Transjordan carried out a political coup in Palestine, proclaiming himself “King of Palestine.” The “coronation,” which preceded the proclamation, occurred in the Old City of Jerusalem Friday when Abdullah paid it a visit. Abdullah’s proclamation apparently referred to non-Israeli Palestine.

In a speech to the members of his court who gathered in the Coptic Convent in the old City for the ceremony, Abdullah declared that he was going to “save the Arabs by expelling and annihilating all Zionists and Jews.” The formal proclamation was made by a representative of the Coptic Bishop who declared: “As the Christian Church welcomed Omar Ikn Khatib, handing over to him the boys of the Holy Sepulchre, so we proclaim you today King of Palestine.”
At the time, Palestinian Arabs didn't object to the Transjordanian king taking over the territory that we are told has always been "Palestinian."

This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 11 years and over 22,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
